About Leez Priory

Historic, countryside venues are often thought of as the creme de la creme of backdrops for a special day, but Leez Priory really does offer something a little different. A towering, red-brick Tudor manor, this stunning building will take your breath away with its unique architecture and unusual silhouette. 

A well-loved wedding venue, the dedicated events team at Leez Priory are well-versed in pulling off any kind of event, personal or corporate, big or small, indoors or outdoors. So, whether you're planning a big day, an office away day, a branded event or elaborate birthday party, this is a fantastic venue to suit any kind of occasion. Plus, as it's situated just 15 minutes from the M11, it's got great transport links for guests coming from near and far. 

In terms of the spaces available, you can choose between the likes of the great tower, two reception rooms, bar and a characterful cellar disco, as well as plenty of al fresco options, too. You see, while the venue itself is brimming with character and charm, the surrounding lush greenery, woodland, parkland, two beautiful lakes and a brook, also well deserve your attention. 

For a sit-down dinner, we love the look of The Coach House which is full of authentic, rustic details such as wooden beams overhead, huge ceilings, exposed brick walls and a light, bright feel. Here, 110 guests can be catered for and as all catering is provided in house, you can work with the team on creating a menu that works for you. The chefs love getting creative and are happy to whip up multi-course options, BBQs and hog roasts, or just canapes and light bites - it's totally up to you. For a slightly moodier space, look into The Great Hall with its detailed fireplace and rich atmosphere, it's a stunning place to host dinner for 74 people.
